Erin Sullivan discussed her research into melancholy and sadness on Australian Radio's 'Weekend Arts' programme - a recording is available online.

Erin will be following this with a series of talks on my work at the University of Western Australia, University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, and University of Queensland - the last of which will be a public lecture in their art museum on 23 May 2013 - 'Beyond Melancholy: Sadness and Selfhood in Renaissance England'. 

Erin also co-presented at a workshop on 'Shakespeare and Emotion: Then and Now' for Brisbane-area high school teachers.
